He seems to be having a lot of fun on media day. Glad he's getting a shot.

In 22 minutes tonight, Troy scored 15 points on 6/9 shooting in a Memphis loss. Added 3 rebs, 1 ast, and 0 TO's!! Making a good case to make that team.

Troy looked really really good tonight. He was getting to the cup with ease.

Not trying to take away from Troy's overall performance but he did pick up 4 fouls for his 22 minutes of court time.  He's a rookie so clearly he won't get the benefit of the whistle so he'll have to learn to play smarter.

In preseason action the Grizzlies pounded the 76ers 121-91.  Troy with an impressive night --  27 min.; 22 pts. on 8-13 FG's; 2-3 on 3's; 4-6 FT's; 7 reb; 1 asst; 2 stls; 1 TO; team was +16 while he was on the court.  And unlike the last game where he picked up 4 fouls in 22 minutes, tonight he didn't have a single foul.  Making a strong case to make the opening day roster.  Next preseason game is Thursday at Oklahoma City against Vic and the Thunder.

Wow! Go Troy go!

Holy crap. 22 points, no fouls and one TO is pretty outstanding.

Can they keep him off the opening day roster? I can't imagine how.

[Dalton26 16,892]

Add 7 rebounds and 2/3 from deep to that too.

[bhaggard89 869]

I think the most impressive stat is his 27 minutes off the bench, which was actually the most minutes played on the team.

I'll admit I'm stunned. And happily enjoying my plate of crow, as I never would have imagined he'd do this well at the next level. Way to go Troy!

I'll miss the electrifying Troy. Turn over Troy not so much. So far, looks like he made the right decision. I'm extraordinarily happy for him! See you at FedEx!

[Whoozhers 3,652]

Btw- don't know what to make of it but, the Commercial Appeal in Memphis seems to give TW "begrudgingly little ink". I think he deserves better.... My IU bias I suppose??

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,018]

Yes, it's a preseason game, but Troy has played his way into the starting lineup for the Grizzlies game against Vic and his OK Thunder squad.  Game just now getting started.  Live stats available at:  http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400899182

[Crimson and Cream 5,782]

You're on it man, I was just about to post the same thing. I'd say at this point he's almost guaranteed to make their roster.

[mdn82 25,510]

I am surprised he is thriving this soon. Never thought he could have a strong chance of making a squad this year out of camp. Respect Troy!
